Travel with exchange student Corey Summers and his Italian friends. From the scorching dunes of the Death Valley to the green hills of Rome.

Corey reminisces about his Italian adventure and the friends he made across the ocean. Flashback: Ettore Tosi and newcomer Francesco Maldini visit him in California and fall in love with each other.

Meantime, lovers Luca Ferri and Gennaro Grimaldi, cashless and unable to join Ettore, settle for the Italian countryside. Marco Ramazzotti and Andrea Albani cruise each other among the ruins of a fortress. Gennaro betrays Luca and has fun with Fabio de' Rossi.

When Francesco leaves, Corey makes his move on Ettore.

"Across the Ocean" was shot on location in California, Nevada, Northern Italy and the countryside near Rome.
